ABOUT THIS POSITION

The LGBTQIA+ Education Presenters at Minus18 drive inclusion within the broader community, delivering LGBTQIA+ education workshops and training that are a mix of facilitation, presentation and improvisation.

In this role, you’ll be delivering sessions to a variety of audiences with a focus on students, teachers and youth groups, making LGBTQIA+ inclusion accessible to everyone in a positive, nonjudgmental space. You'll also be required to support delivering sessions to community organisations and corporate environments as required.

Some of our recent audiences have included Bonds, Levis, Canva and the National Theatre Melbourne.

Our Workshops have been described as “participating in your favourite podcast”, so even though they are pre-scripted, you’ll think on your feet, react to the audience’s participation and navigate questions with patience and positivity. We’ll also coach you to write and share your personal narrative on LGBTQIA+ identity with openness and vulnerability, inspiring others to connect with the real-world application of the Content.

These sessions are 30 minutes to three hours long, delivered digitally via Zoom, and also in-person. They include content such as:

• Introduction to LGBTQIA+ Inclusion
• Trans and Gender Diversity
• LGBTQIA+ Allyship
• Personal Narrative Keynote presentation.
